Praying Without Ceasing



Good day,

I don’t want us to be weary when it comes to prayers. We have to continue to ask till we get what we want.

Don’t let us be tired of saying the same things to God over and over.

The Bible tells us in Luke 18v1-8 about the persistent widow who wanted the wicked judge to avenge her. She kept calling to him though he was unjust; he got tired of her constant disturbance and answered her. If the judge being wicked could grant her request how much more our loving Father who desires to love us and make sure we are okay?

In my Bible’s version (NLT)of this parable verse 7:

“Even he (the judge) rendered a just decision in the end. So don’t you think God will surely give justice to His chosen people who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off?” 

God always want us to keep asking, not because He delights in seeing us begging day and night but because He wants to know how important it is to us.


Sometimes our needs are beyond us just like that widow she couldn’t help herself, that problem was something she could not handle it wasn’t within what she could do. Some problems are not what we can handle. If it is to eat we can always buy food, if we need money we can always get someone to assist us. But when it comes to some funny and tough issues no body can help us.

That woman was resilient she went after who was able to help her, she went to the highest authority.

Let’s go to the King of all kings, the highest Priest who can open doors and no one will dare close it, who speaks and no one can argue, who opens doors and no one can shut them, who closes doors and no one dares open.  Let’s pursue our right in God. When we call, He will answer. God is working for our good. All we need on earth He doesn’t need them in heaven so why can’t He release them to us? The Bible tells us that He is not a poor or hungry God, the earth and the fullness is His, He is the creator of ALL things. He sits in heaven and makes the earth His footstool. He is simply too big, bigger than the biggest, richer than the richest, higher than the highest. He is God in Himself no one can compete with Him or compare himself with Him. He is too much, too awesome. He stands alone no one can beat him. That God is our Father, our Daddy. He has EVERYTHING. He will do ALL things, no thing is impossible for our God.



What will make God not to answer us?

-SIN. – The Bible says the Lord is not blind neither is He deaf, but our sins have separated us from Him. Let’s pray that God will forgive us of all our sins and wash us with the perfect blood of Jesus.

- Uncertainty- the Bible also says that we should not waver in our prayers that we should be sure our faith is in God alone.

We will keep praying and keep asking until we get our results in Jesus name. We should also put others we know that are going through challenges in our prayers so that we won’t be selfish in our asking.

God bless you.
